Re: What has happened to kraftwerkz

I heard a lot about that car.. and some of it was about how troubled it was. There was a huge post in a forum a while back from Graham (he talks on this board!) that bought one. After he finished the car, he showed at a various shows and left people who saw it awe struck. He went on to say that the kit was totally garbage and that just about every part of it had to be reworked or completely redone by him; to the extent that only a few, if any of the parts were actually sourced from kraftwerkz.

theres more about it here
Porsche Forum @ CKnet

but as far as the company goes, didnt they try to sell the molds and the rights to the car? They probably did go out of business!

Re: What has happened to kraftwerkz

ow ok

well i went to there little factory about 3 yrs ago and had a look at the cars and they looked well built?

Having said that I was so excited to see a replica 917 that looked like a 917 I might have missed the inperfections!

Randy,

Please send me a link to the Werkz906 site. Did I meet you at Rennsport when you were with Andrew?
